Howcheng

Status:    Not done
  Not done, @Howcheng As per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not subject to usurpation. You can choose another name if you want. Additionally the user should be notified by a renamer. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 09:28, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@Yahya: Sorry, but I was unaware. Is that documented anywhere? I didn't see anything at Global rename policy. holly {chat} 16:30, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@Howcheng See top of this section. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 17:50, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Solgarotasdaci

Status:    Done

--Solgarotasdaci (talk) 22:43, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@Solgarotasdaci Is the user account Wikiseelie Y registered by you? —MdsShakil (talk) 13:33, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
No. I asked on the other page [2] and they told me that they already had a user with that name, but they created right after I asked for this name change. So I'm asking here if it's still possible for me to acquire this other username (Wikiseelie Y) or would it be better for me to create another username? Solgarotasdaci (talk) 14:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
  Done subsequent registration was a clear abuse. --Vituzzu (talk) 08:16, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

A smart kitten doppelganger1

Status:    Done

All the best --A smart kitten doppelganger1 (talk) 12:43, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

  Not done In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users. You made most of your edits recently. Please feel free to re-file this request in the future after your account has been well established. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 12:21, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
I apologize; I misunderstood your request. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 22:48, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
  On hold until 23 October 2023. User notified via talk page. A smart kitten has confirmed here that they own this account. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 11:36, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
  Done. There is a similar username (without the space between the 2 words), but I saw that it is also controlled by the same user, so there is no problem using the similar name. Neriah - 💬 - 07:21, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Matr1x-101

Status:    Done

—Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) {user page (@ commons) - talk} 14:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

  Comment I have notified the user of the usurpation here, since no global renamers are responding. —Matr1x-101 (Ping me when replying) {user page (@ commons) - talk} 19:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
@Ejs-80 Can you respond? You are the one who blocked the requested username. Neriah - 💬 - 08:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
All edits of the account in question (Matrix@fiwiki) were either vandalism or disruptive and were reverted. –Ejs-80 14:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Doesn't seems a big issue if they're not a known LTA! We could usurp Matrix and give it to Matr1x-101 since they only did frivolous edits! Do you agree @Ejs-80:? Superpes15 (talk) 12:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
Yes, I agree. –Ejs-80 05:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

--Suriyaa Sundararuban (talk) 11:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

ՄիլՆոն

Status:    Not done
Warning: A username cannot begin with a lower-case letter: milena → Milena

--ՄիլՆոն (talk) 11:51, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

  Not done Note that usernames always start with an uppercase letter. We can't rename your account to Milena because global accounts under this name have existed, and they are actively contributing on Wikimedia projects. —MdsShakil (talk) 09:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
